Roadkill from around the globe.
Thank you to our friends in Mexico for getting us up and running again!
Location: Estado de Mexico, Mexico
TIDBIT: A 15-year-old girl is believed to be the fifth victim of a string of stray dog attacks in a Mexico City park over the last month, setting off a fierce debate about how to handle the city’s stray dog problem.
Surely other vultures…This Black Vulture maybe was snacking on remains too close to the road.
TIDBIT - The Black Vulture is a carrion feeder that will bully a turkey vulture away from a carcass and will occasionally kill smaller live prey.
This groundhog was found lying face down on a road in the Sourland Mountains region of New Jersey.
Tidbit: Groundhogs are a pest species that will eat through building foundations. They are vicious if cornered. Unless they are dead. Then not so vicious.

Why did the turkey cross the county road you ask? We’ll never know.
TIDBIT: In the 1930s it is reported the the numbers of wild turkeys were dwindling due to overhunting, disease and forest clearing.
